Guest zaphod Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 i want to get into soul music. recommend me some stuff. is there some kind of slightly experimental classic soul, something verging on trip hop but from the seventies? basically the more melancholy it is, the better.

sneaksta303 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 good thread. i wish i could contribute, but I need to be schooled also. Other than motown and Withers I don't really know shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e187BbYLz8Y Doesn't get too much more melancholy than this (taking the lyrics into consideration). This shit's like the story of my life. Loosely. :braindance: :braindance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IRARI Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 i want to get into soul music. recommend me some stuff. is there some kind of slightly experimental classic soul, something verging on trip hop but from the seventies? basically the more melancholy it is, the better. psychedelic soul: but i think this is more soul with elements of psychedelic rock, not really trip-hop like you need maybe you should look at one of those sample-identification websites under certain trip-hop artists and see who they've sampled i have a feeling what'll hit the spot for you is going to be singles, not an entire subgenre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ_AAz29Amc not melancholy at all, but just fucking great. I don't know... I agree with you that it IS a fucking great song, but I've always thought it was a little menacing. Maybe it's the continuous high-pitched note that runs throughout it.

takeshi Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDTXljIqxRE Great song, the album is decent too. I think DeVaughn isn't as well-known as other artists because a lot of people attribute this song to Curtis Mayfield. You can definitely hear the influence.

Here's the version you'll find on most compilations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M36OGCfYp3A more Ayers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjw2XFCevrQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zECaSF62x0 Can't believe I forgot Gil Scott-Heron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtzlFO19m3k Idris Muhammad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbQIJ4B-trM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 i'm liking the roy ayers song, but i see it's just a demo. is that version on a release? Yeah, it's on Virgin Ubiquity II: Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981. i like the standard version of the track as well, but for what you described, it felt like the demo was a bit more apt. those vibraphones are just fresh.
